Yes please, remove from 2x2 and re-shoot coin with better lighting.
Also when you re- 2x2 it, flatten the staples down so you won't damage other coins on other 2x2's.

The rim is rounded, not square as would be expected on a proof. I would classify this as a business strike coin.

Much better 2nd set of photos. That is a business strike cent, not a proof.

Getting pictures of this one is extremely difficult, I'll try again if you want.
